If you are looking to be a bodybuilder and compete, and you think or even wonder, if they all need steroids and are ALL on steroids, you got another thing coming.

The professional bodybuilders MUST eat, shoot, and drink steroids for breakfast, lunch and dinner to even have the slightest chance of winning any competition.

If you are not willing, to permanently disturb your body’s natural production of hormones, and deal with testosterone issues for the rest of your life, this is not the “sport” for you. Plain and simple, you have to live on steroids for the rest of your life.

You Do Not Need Steroids To Get Big!

We all know that our bodies produce testosterone naturally. This is what makes us men, and women also have the hormone, just in a very small quantity.

So when you start taking steroids, and additional testosterone, your body says “I don’t need to make anymore,” this guy/girl is giving me all I need and MORE.

So your body stops producing testosterone. During this time you are having the time of your life.

You are walking around all juiced up, in your tight shirt, and can’t wait for someone to look at you and say DAMN!

You feel like you can lift a house, and a fridge at the same time. You are officially Superman!

You feel like you are on top of the world when you are on steroids!

You go to the gym, you can lift twice as much as before, and only after a couple of weeks, you see your self getting bigger. You starting felling like a god.

What is actually happening is the steroids are kicking in, and they have other plans for you than you expected.

The steroids will certainly come with some major side effects. In order to be a bodybuilder, or to look like one, you are ready to deal with them.

So you will walk around looking like an idiot and think you look good. That is one thing about steroids, they are very easy to spot with a trained eye.

If you are an experienced lifter, you can probably tell in 2 seconds if someone is on the juice. You might be wrong once in a while, but 99% of the time, you will be right.

Common side effects of oral steroids include:

Acne.

Blurred vision.

Cataracts or glaucoma.

Easy bruising.

Difficulty sleeping.

High blood pressure.

Increased appetite, weight gain.

Increased growth of body hair.

If You Think You Need Steroids, You Should Expect This!

Blurry muscles, hair on places where you didn’t have hair before, the list goes on I will spare you the details.

If you want your back to be as big as the back in the picture above, you definitely need to take steroids. That is a professional bodybuilder, and his back looks like a pizza from all the acne.

Let’s take a look at some pictures of natural bodybuilders.

Take a look and see if you can see a difference between a professional natural bodybuilder and a IFBB Mr. Olympia competitor.

There have been guys, you probably know plenty, that have worked out their whole life, and look nothing like the guy on the right, or even on the left. Keep in mind the guy on the left is also about 5’5 tops.

Not only do you need to take steroids to get big, you have to pretty much give up your whole life to do this “sport.”

And it’s only considered a sport because everyone in it could never be a real athlete professionally. They juice up and call them selves athletes, they are not in many peoples opinions. Getting back to giving up your life…

As a bodybuilder, you will have to constantly monitor your steroid intake, and also get assistance from a doctor.

Good luck with that shit. You also have to constantly, without fail, keep you mind on the food 24/7.

You have to eat like monster to say the least. Your days will consist of walking around, thinking about nothing but food, farting, crapping in the bathroom, and taking 900 leaks a day.

So the real answer to, do you need steroids to get big, is….IT DEPENDS!

It depends what big means to you. Someone’s big is not your big.

If you are looking to look like Mr. Olympia, you definitely need to have your steroid dealer on speed dial. If you are looking to get what most of the world considers big, and defined, you do not need steroids.

You will never win the size game, there will always be that guy that shows up that is twice your size, has a belly, and thinks he looks good with his sweatshirt on.

What I’m trying to say is, you are much better off having a lean muscular look, than being that guy who will never take his shirt off. But at the end of the day, “do whatever the fuck you want to do!”
